9to5Mac sent photographs believed to be the back casing of the new iPhone

BIGGER, faster, shiner, blah, blah, blah. Yep, we've heard it all before when it comes to Apple rumours - and the latest is no exception.

Photos believed to be the back section of the new iPhone show the new device will be, you guessed it, taller but would also come in different colours, 9to5Mac reports.

The Apple-centric blog said the pictures were forwarded on to them by Chinese parts supplier iFixyouri - the “reliable source” that revealed the iPad would come in white back in November.

Many changes are believed to be on the way, including a larger 3.9inch frame and an aluminium back instead of a glass.

“We are told the extra space on the bottom is used by Apple to enhance the speakers that will be louder and of a higher quality than the current iPhone,” 9to5Mac said.

“Interestingly, the supplier also told iFixyouri that black and white would not be the only two colors this year. There were at least two other colors seen for the back plate that obviously might not make it into production if these parts are indeed real.”

The supplier also said the front-facing camera has moved above the ear piece and will now appear on the front of the phone. On the backside, there is a new hole in between spaces for the camera lens and the flash.

The headphone jack also appears on the bottom of the frame, as compared to the top.
